Abstracts

The paper analyzes the status of the Parliament in connection with the examination of the existence or absence of its obligation to adopt the law in situations that are analyzed in this paper. It is a question of obligations of the Parliament to adopt laws, if based on a valid referendum give citizens order to the Parliament for the adoption of such legislation, which reflect the results of a valid referendum into a law. Furthermore, it is effect of so called positive commitment of State which, under the authors‘ opinion in a material Rule of Law constitutes an obligation of the Parliament to adopt a law whether laws that would fill and guarantee constitutional rights and freedoms which, by their nature require an adjustment in the form of law. Finally, it is the adoption of laws as a result of implementation of legally binding acts of the European Union. Despite of the absence of constitutional sanctions for the fulfillment of the obligation of the Parliament to adopt the law, the authors express their opinion that in these cases arises for the Parliament the obligation to adopt the law. For a valid referendum at the same time the authors suggest the possible constitutional sanction, namely the dissolution of the Parliament.
